Today's technologically advanced vehicle pow-ertrains bring huge rewards to us as consumers. Comparied to previous vehicles, they have remarkable fuel economy, abundant power output, and significantly reduced tailpipe emissions. But access to components for testing hasn't gotten any easier, I'm sure you'll agree. When facing driveability faults, it's the symptoms felt by the consumers that drive what we are usually addressing as technicians. But a major factor in today's vehicle powertrain analysis is what we face under the hood. There is little room to conduct the testing we've grown to trust in pursuit of the symptom exhibited. This means carrying out those same tests can be extremely time-consuming. Of course, if the test is justified, it's worth the investment of time to conduct the test. But it may not be prudent to commit to that test first because of the amount of time that is needed to be invested. |
